Environment Canada is warning that the Kingston, Ont., area could be hit with freezing rain Saturday evening.
The agency issued a yellow-level warning Saturday, saying that the city could see two to four millimetres of ice buildup.
The precipitation will likely begin as snow or ice pellets before changing to freezing rain and then ending overnight.
Areas closer to Lake Ontario will likely avoid the worst of it, Environment Canada said, as temperatures should hover just above the freezing mark.
As of late Saturday afternoon, the warnings were in place for a stretch of eastern Ontario stretching from Quinte West to just south of Brockville.
Ottawa was not under a weather warning, with the national capital’s forecast calling for 10 to 15 centimetres of snow Saturday night with a risk of freezing rain overnight.
